London's Burning

The 40+ degrees Centigrade temperatures, resulted in Tuesday 19th July being the busiest day for the London Fire Brigade (LFB), since the blitz of World War 2. On a regular day, the LFB gets around 500 calls. On Tuesday, it got 2600 (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jul/20/heatwave-led-to-london-firefighters-busiest-day-since-second-world-war). Grass was 'tinder day' and in places, entire streets of houses were destroyed, along with their parked cars. Londoners have been told not to have barbecues but some right-wing newspapers think this advice encourages people to be 'snowflakes'. Perhaps Londoners will eventually forget what a snowflake is?
